EP 3/82

l Environmental Qualification: Time Duration (NECNP Contention I.B.2)

As admitted by the Board, this contention reads as follows:

"The Applicant has not satisfied the requirements of GDC 4 that all equipment important to safety be environmentally qualified because it has not specified the time duration over which the equipment is qualified."

This contention can be confusing, because it does not distinguish between two discrete concepts: (i) how long the equipment can be run, under normal circumstances, without losing its ability to withstand the harsh accident environment (should an accident occur), and (ii) how long the equipment can withstand the harsh environment after the accident has occurred.

For ease of reference, we shall refer to these concepts (which together constitute the " qualified life" of an item of equipment, as defined in IEEE 323-1974) as the

" pre-accident qualification duration" and the " post-accident qualification duration." From NECNP's interrogatories, it appears that the focus of this contention is the " post-accident qualification l

l

l 1

)

duration." See interrogatories 14 and 29 of "NECNP's First Set of Interrogatories and Request for Documents to Applicants on Contentions I.A.2, I.B.1, I.B.2 and I.C" (filed 10/13/82).

As a matter of fact, the environmental qualification time duration standard for Seabrook Station electrical equipment is as follows: as to pre-accident qualification duration, the equipment in question is qualified either to the life of the plant or some shorter period, and if a shorter period is specified, then the equipment must be replaced or requalified before the period elapses. As to p'ost-accident qualification duration, all equipment is qualified to withstand accident environmental conditions for one year (the conditions being those set forth in " Service Environment Chart", Figure 3.11(B)-1, at FSAR $ 3.11), and any equipment that cannot be qualified for ona year is then reviewed on a case-by-case basis to determine whether, for the particular duration that equipment is required to remain operational in the case of an accident in order to perform its safety function, a shorter period is l

W M

1 1

q g a m - eeg - - ---

sufficient. This standard fully meets (and in substantial part it exceeds) the requirement as to equipment environmental qualification time duration of General Design Criterion 4.

One other point of potential confusion should be cleared up at the outset. Our response to Interrogatory No. 1 of NECNP's second set of interrogatories explained that our definition of the terms "important to safety" and " safety related" were the same and are used interchangeably to identify structures, systems, or components that perform a safety function. We further stated that there is no equipment designated "important to safety" but'not safety-related. The following discussion, therefore, refers to all equipment that must be environmentally qualified to assure it will perform its safety function. We use the term " safety related" to refer to all such equipment.

Seabrook was in the preliminary design stage when Reg. Guide 1.89 was issued. Reg. Guide 1.89, which endorsed IEEE 323-1974, provided guidance for the first time on the requirement that electrical equipment be qualified to withstand an accident environment after having been exposed to pre-accident conditions for a qualified duration. It was decided that all safety-related electrical equipment not supplied by Westinghouse under the Nuclear Steam Supply System

("NSSS") contract would be qualified to perform its safety function in the harsh environment. Rather than determine specific accident scenarios for each application, all equipment was specified for a 40-yeat normal life followed by one year post-accident conditions. This common post-accident duration permits generic qualification of identical equipment irrespective of the requirements of the actual application. There were several reasons we chose this method. First and most importantly, we were not "backfitting" an existing design. By that, we mean that we were not trying to show that an existing design was acceptable. We were designing and purchasing systems to meet the requirements of IEEE-323-1974 and Reg. Guide 1.89. We felt that we could eliminate any potential for error that might exist if one tried to identify specific operating durations and accident r

[_ , _ _ _ _ . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . . _ - - . - -

environments for each piece of equipment. By this approach, we achieved the flexibility of locating equipment and interchanging like equipment among systems without jeopardizing equipment qualification.

We also knew that in most cases, vendors either qualified equipment !or in-containment accident conditions or for mild environments and there was little financial benefit to attempting to identify i

conditions which fell between these extremes.

The result is that much of our safety-related equipment will be qualified to operate longer and in environments that are more severe than is required by GDC 4.

As we proceed with our detailed review of the equipment qualification data packages, we may find equipment that cannot be qualified to operate for one year in the extreme environment. Should this situation 1

arise, we will identify the time duration over which l the equipment is required to perform its safety function, with a margin. That particular equipment will then be qualified to that specific duration. This

will be done on a case-by-case basis and will be so identified in the equipment qualification data file.

To date, we have not identified any equipment that cannot be qualified for one year of post-accident environmental conditions.

The NSSS safety-relt.ted electrical equipment is qualified using specific qualification times based on the accident scenarios for each specific equipment application. These are set forth in Table 3.11(N)-3 in FSAR $ 3.11. Applicability to the Seabrook conditions will be verified by comparing the qualification profile to ensure that the test profiles envelope the Seabrook profile. This qualification meets or exceeds GDC 4, Reg. Guide 1.89, and IEEE 323-1974.

For these reasons, the Seabrook environmental qualification program meets or exceeds the requirements of GDC 4.

1 Classification Scheme (Contention NECNP III.1 & NH-20)

Introduction The Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency F.

(SS-REP) includes a system for emergency recognition and classification as the basis far the activation of the Applicant's emergency response organization and the notification to and activiation of the emergency response organizations of the federal, state, and local authorities. Emergency conditions are categorized by the SS-REP into one of the following four emergency classes:

1. Unusual Event
2. Alert
3. Site Area
4. General These four emergency classes are the same as those incorporated into federal, state, and local radiological emergency plans and which govern their response to an emergency notification by Seabrook Station personnel. This uniformity in the classification system used by the Applicants with that

r-used by the federal, state, and local authorities is in accordance with 10 CFR $ 50.47(b)(4).

Classification System Descripton The four emergency classes cover a graded scale of severity from a potential degradation of plant safety margins at the Unusual Event leiel to substantial core degradation or melting with potential for loss of containment integrity at the General Emergency level.

An explanation of all four emergency classes to show this graded scale of emergency severity is given in Section 5.0 of the SS-REP.

That section, as well as its companion Appendix A of the SS-REP, was transmitted to the parties by PSNH letter to USNRC, SBN-525 entitled Emergency Classification System, dated June 27, 1983, and a copy is annexed to this testimony as Exhibit 1.1 The 8It has also been included in Amendment 49 of the FSAR, as indicated in that letter. It should be noted that Table A.5 in Exhibit 1 contains certain typgraphical corrections from the document transmitted on June 27, 1983.

i

revised Section 5.0 describes the manner by which 4

emergency conditions are categorized into the four emergency classes (Subsections 5.3.1 through 5.3.4).

It also describes the use of the symptomatic approach being incorporated into the Emergency Operating Procedures (EOPs) by the Applicants as an aid to emergency recognition and classification by the operator. This is described in the revised Subsection 5.2 and is set forth in dotail in the information specified in the revised Appendix A.

This symptomatic approach being utilized in the development of the Seabrook Station EOPs is a result of the more than three year effort of the Westinghouse Owners Group (which includes Seabrook Station representation) to improve the methods by which EOPs were based and written and operators oriented and trained to respond to emergency conditions.

Improvement was jointly recognized by the industry and the NRC in the analysis of the TMI accident response.

The Critical Safety Functions (CSFs) (those functions that must be successfully maintained to insure adequate safety margins), and the symptoms that represent 15 -

1 l

m n

l various degrees of challenge to them, were identified to concentrate the operators' attention on that information that is most important in an emergency situation.

As the materials in SS-REP Section 5.0 and Appendix A demonstrate, the Applicant's emergency classification system fully utilizes this symptomatic approach to CSF challenges. Subsection 5.2 describes the concept of color-coded status trees associated with the symptomatic EOPs and Appendix A shows in detail the relationship between status trees associated with the i

five CSFs and the categorization of the condition into one of the four emergency classes. These CSF status trees are used to 1) monitor station safety status, 2) alert operators to potential emergency conditions, and

3) direct operators to appropriate CSF restoration procedures. These CSF status trees are available on the Safety Parameter Display System of the plant computer and are also avialable as hard copy for backup.

Additionally, Appendix A also shows that events that are not represented, at least initially, as a CSF

threat are categorized into the emergency classification system. These types of events are occurrences that are mainly external to the systems and equipment associated with the maintenance of CSFs. In this way, the various challenges to CSFs and all the other appropriate actual or potential emergency conditi,ons are incorporated into the Applicant's emergency classification system.

Conclusion The information provided to the Shift Superintendent to recognize emergency conditions and categorize them in accordance with the emergency classification system as describer' above and presented in detail in the referenced submittal is a means to smoothly transfer between emergency condition recognition and the categorization and classification step. The incorporation of the symptom-based CSF status tree approach used for the EOPs into this classification system aids in this process.

Evacuation Times (NECNP Contentions III.12 and .13)

This Board's Order of June 30, 1983, disposed of the entirety of this contention except for two respects. The Board has reframed the remaining aspects of the contention thus: -

"NECNP III.12/III.13 Evacuation Time Estimates "The evacuation time estimates provided by i Applicants in Appendix C of the Radiological Emergency Plan are deficient in failing to include an estimate of:

"1. the times for evacuation during adverse weather conditions deveoping on a busy summer weekend; and "2. the times for simultaneous evacuation of beach areas lying NE to SSE of the Seabrook site."

This testimony is limited to those two issues.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a study entitled

" Evacuation Clear Time Estimates for Areas Near l Seabrook Station" (updated 1981, revised July 1983).

This is in essentially the same format as, and uses the i

same data and computer program as, Appendix C to the SS-REP contained in the FSAR, and it is, in fact, the study of which Appendix C is a condensed version. The differences between Exhibit 2 and Appendix C are-i

threefold: ,

one, Exhibit 2 contains a somewhat fuller description of the evacuation time estimate methodology; two, Exhibit 2 contains an evacuation time estimate for simultaneous evacuation of the entire EPZ (under the same summer scenarios initially studied);

and three, Exhibit 2 contains an evacuation time estimate for simultaneous evacuation of the entire EPZ under the peak weekend population-adverse weather scenario.2 The " entire EPZ" scenarios for the original summer cases produce evacuation clear times of-6 hours, 5 minutes for the summer weekend-fair weather scenario and 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />, 10 minutes for the summer weekday-fair weather scenario.

2This last item is an estimate compiled in response to this Board's Order of June 30, 1983. The originai

" entire EPZ" case was run at the time the study was first performed, but.it was not reported in SS-REP Appendix C because, at the time Appendix C was published, NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1, Rev. O, did not require such a case and the effort was to portray that called for by FEMA-REP-1.

Exhibit 2 also contains a summer weekday-fair weather scenario for each. sector. These, too, were not included in Appendix C because they were not called for by FEMA-REP-1.

, l l I

(

The " entire EPZ" case for the summer weekend-l adverse weather scenario yields an evacuation clear time of 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />, 15 minutes.

All of the " entire-EPZ" cases account for an evacuation of the beach area from NE to SSE, plus all other areas of the EPZ, at the same time.

While we have included this last estimate (i.e.,

summer weekend-adverse weather), we wish to point out that, in our judgment, it overstates the time that a real life evacuation would take under peak population, adverse weatner conditions. The reason for this is that, in order to model this scenario, it was assumed that none of the people at the beach areas began to depart -- notwithstanding the degrading weather --

until the signal to evacuate was given. In real life, one of two things would happen: either (1) the weather would begin to degrade before the notification was given, in which case some people would begin to leave before the signal was given, or (2) the weather would not begin to degrade until after the evacuation notification was given, in which case the effects of adverse weather upon evacuation would not appear until l

a -

the evacuation was underway and at least partially completed. Either of these real life situations would produce lower evacuation times than the case actually modelled.

In all other respects, these estimates are based upon the same methodology, the same assumptions, and the same data as did those the results of which are described in SS-REP Appendix C.

Emergency Classification System

Dear Sir:

In response to the open item delineated in Supplement No. I to the Safety Evaluation Report (Reference (b)), we have encloced a new Section 5.0 of the Seabrook Station Radiological Emergency Plan which provides a conceptual description of the Emergency Classification System.

Please note that the Emergency Action Level setpoints (Tables A.1-A.5) and Emergency Status Indicators (Tables A.1-A.5) color combinations are

, tentative (some also indicate that setpoints and color schemes will be provided later). Section 5.0 should be reviewed in light of its conceptual nature. The Westinghoase Owners Group, as of this writing, is continuing to l revise its Emergency Ra'sponse Guideli.nes (ERGS) in response to the NRC review. These ongoing changes to the ERGS are expected to effect the Emergency Action Level artpoints and Emergency Status Indicators color combinations.

Setpoints and color combinations will be provided subsequent to completion of the ERCS and Seabrook Station Emergency Operating Procedures (Reference (c) commits to December 1983 for completion of Emergency Operating Procedure s) .

5.0 EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM 5.1 Summary An Emergency Classification System has been defined which categorises a wide spectrim of component or system failures and other occurrences that could potentially reduce station safety margins. The incidents are categorized according to severity in the following four classes: Unusual Event, Alert, Site Area Emergency, and General Emergency.

These predetermined emergency classes are declared by Seabrook Station per-sonnel. They assist emergency response organizations in determining the assessment, corrective and protective actions to be taken onsite and offsite.

Emergency classifications are based upon events identified by certain measur-able and observable indications of station conditions. These indications of degrading station status are called Emergency Action Levels (EALs) and are listed in detail with their associated station conditions in Appendix A.

These EALs aid the operator in emergency recognition and assure the first step is completed in emergency response. It must be recognized that if conditions warrant such action, the classification of the event may change as the incident increases or reduces in severity.

5.2 Symptomatic Approach to Classific.ation

( ~

A symptomatic approach has been developed to assist the operator in emergency recognition and classification. In order to concentrate the amount of plant process data provided to the operator to that which is necessary for event classification, use is made of the color coded status trees that are associated with the sympton based Emergency Operating Procedures. These symptomatic status tree analyses allow the operator to recognize accident severity and concentrate on the appropriate corrective actions. Symptomatic status trees which relate to Seabrook Station EALs are provided along with a description of the approach in Appendix A.

5.3 Emergency Classes 5.3.1 Unusual Event AN UNUSUAL EVENT INDICATES A POTENTIAL DEGRADATION OF STATION SAFETY MARGINS WHICH IS NOT LIKELY TO AFFECT PERSONNEL ON-SITE OR THE PUBLIC OFF-SITE OR RESULT IN RADIOACTIVE RELEASES REQUIRING OFF-SITE MONITORING.

Unusual Events are conditions which do not cause serious damage to the station and may not require a change in operational status. For a complete list of the Unusual Event conditions, refer to Appendix A, Table A.I.

( 5.3.2 Alert AN ALERT INDICATES A SUBSTANTIAL DEGRADATION OF STATION SAFETY MARGINS WHICH COULD AFFECT ON-SITE PERSONNEL SAFETY, COULD REQUIRE OFF-SITE IMPACT ASSESSMENT, BUT IS NOT LIKELY TO REQUIRE OFF-SITE PUBLIC PROTECTIVE ACTION.

Station response and off-site notification associated with this event classification assure that sufficient emergency response personnel, both on and off site, are mobilized and respond to event conditions. Actual releases of radioactivity which substantially exceed Technical Specification limits may be involved, and thus radiation monitoring and dose projection may be an integral portion of the emergency response required. For a complete list of Alert conditions refer to Appendix A, Table A.2.

5.3.3 Site Area Emergency A SITE AREA EMERGENCY INDICATES AN EVENT WHICH INVOLVES LIKELY OR ACTUAL MAJOR FAILURES OF STATION FUNCTIONS NEEDED FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE PUBLIC.

The events included in this Site Area Emergency category represent a potential for off-site releases which could impact the public to the extent that pro-tective actions may be necessary. For a complete list of Site Area Emergency conditions, refer to Appendix A, Table A.3. ,

5.3.4 General Emergency A GENERAL EMERGENCY INVOLVES SUBSTANTIAL CORE DEGRADATION OR MELTING WITH PCTENTIAL FOR LOSS OF CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY.

(

APPENDIX A EMERGENCY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND EMERGENCY ACTION LEVELS Tables A.1 through A.4. represent the station conditions and associated Emergency Action Levels (EALs) that are categorized in accordance with the four emergency classes. The emergency conditions include a wide spectrum of events that represent varying degrees of threat to station personnel onsite or the public offsite. As the tables show, full use is made of the various degrees of challenge to the five Critical Safety Functions (CSFs);

1) Suberiticality,
2) Core Cooling,
3) Heat Sink,
4) RCS Integrity, and
5) Contain:nent Integrity.

EALs relate levels of challenge to the CSFs and other numerous process para-meter indicators of emergency conditions such as system pressures, liquid levels, radiation intensity, and temperatures, to appropriate emergency classifications.*

  • k Symptom based status trees simplify the initial emergency classification process by relating the sost critical safety parameter indicators directly to the EALs. The individual status trees for each of the five emergency con-ditions used in conjunction with Table A.5 assist the operator in emergency classification and also directs them to the appropriate Emergency Operating Procedures for mitigation of the incident. Symptomatic status trees indicating emergency conditions are available to the operator on the plant process com-puter and are displayed on SPDS. Hard copies of these status trees are also available.

The CSF status trees, Figures A.1 through A.5, are based on plant events which pose a threat to the safety status of the plant. Color coding is used to identify event priorities for the individual branches of the status trees as follows:

OCREEu -

The Criticai SafetF Function is satisfied - no operator action is called for.  !

hYELLOW- The Critical Safety Function is not fully satisfied -

operator action may eventually be needed.

hORANCE- The Critical Safety Function is under severe challenge -

prompt operator action is necessary, hRED -

The Critical Safety Function is in jeopardy - immediate I operator action is required.

l k Table A.5 provides a cross reference which sor'relates the CSFs by selor priorities and other emergency conditions by catesory with their appropriate essergency classes. For azample, if parameters of critical safety function Number 2., cora cooling, complete as orange branch of the appropriate fault tree then seeerding to Table A.5, a Site Area Energency elassifiestion is reached. However, if an orange branch of the core Cooling status tree is soupleted in conjunction with a 3 (Esat Sink) red or orange or a 5 (Contain-neat Integrity) red, then a General Emergency is reached as shown in,C61ona 3 CSF/ Combinations of Table A.S. Combinations of Csys and other emergency coaditions are correlated with emergency classes in coluem 4. Coltaan 5 liste emergency conditions which constitute emergency classifications independant of Critical Safety Functions.
